Gatlinburg / Smoky Mountains area HoneyMoon Recommendations

[DuckDogDr]

Getting married Next April . Our big “actual” Honeymoon is scheduled for a year later (budgeting for it) but we want to do a small weekend or 3 day trip close to home.

She loves fly fishing and just relaxing and going at her own pace bs having a dedicated schedule and have to be at xyz at 0900.

We both want away from people as much as possible and quiet . Been trying to find a resort with a separated cabin ..

We would be interested in kayaking or floating a stream (yes we know it’s going to be cold then) .

We like Maggie Valley for that type of weekend...away from crowds but if it is easter weekend look out.

away from people

Somewhere else. Gatlinburg is absurdly packed.

Tapoca Lodge. Near Robbinsville, NC. Just spent 3 weeks in cabin nearby. Beautiful country, very few people. Rivers, lakes, hiking everywhere. Very few people compared to where I live East of Phoenix AZ.

This. Unfortunately you need a time machine because that gatlinburg no longer exists. I've got family about an hour west and have been going my whole life. It's still enjoyable, but it's crowded and very touristy. Think Myrtle Beach in the mountains.

Yes, lots of people. But Smokey Mountain Knife Works in Sevierville is reason enough to put up with the people. We would rent a cabin in Pigeon Forge. Go north to Sevierville or south to Gatlinburg.

Best pizza I’ve ever had in my life was in Gatlinburg. Smokey Mountain Brewery has a pizza called The Brewmaster. It’s the bar for me.

I always had a great time there regardless of the crowds. Not near as bad as Vegas….and I LOVE that place!!!

Go and enjoy.

My wife and I just spent 4 days in Gatlinburg in early June. Great for one day in town, but the GSM areas were crowded.

Based on your parameters, you really should look at Townsend, TN.
